What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Town of Horizon City, TX Building Services Department requires contractors and subcontractors engaged in the erection, alteration, repair, removal, demolition, or construction of buildings — or in electrical, gas, mechanical, or plumbing installation — to post a $10,000 blanket bond before permits issue. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work to the town's building, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and gas codes.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Horizon City (the obligee), with the town and the public protected. If your work, or that of your agents, employees, or subcontractors, causes damage sustained by the city or by the person for whom the work is done through a failure to comply with the municipal code, the town can recover against the bond, subject to a two-year filing window after the work is completed.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to code treat the $10,000 bond as a registration formality, not a risk. We issue it for $100 flat, with no credit check on the application.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
